  • The line of the box in the figure indicates the light bending effect besides being the frame of this logo. You can see that light emitted from a star at the upper-left corner, then is bent by the mass inside the box, and received by an eye at the lower-right corner.
  • Inside the box, you can see a disk-like thing, you can either consider it is a galaxy bending the light or a propagating gravitational wave, or both.
  • The two apples indicate two objects orbit with each other, and also remind the common image of gravity.
  • The axis of the disk can be thought as the jets of a galaxy, or the axis of spin, which is also the source of gravity.
  • This disk-plus-axis inside the box gives the image of greek letter "phi", delivering the quantum sense in this design.
#2 I tried to add in a visual depth by deploying perspectivity to both the picture and letters. On the other hand, I tinkered with the proportionalities, such that they're perturbed from that of the 2-D projections of equal-spacing objects in the 3-D space. Hopefully, that makes the badge more dynamic. I also tried to do this in a visually pleasing way, keeping things harmonic.

#10 The badge should be black on a white paper.
Here I have integrated a dropping apple or a baby universe with (gravitational) waves, black hole, growing quantum gravity, and the celestial sphere of fixed stars. Gravitational constant G, scalar curvature R, and speed of light c are written on the curved whiteboard.

Black-and-white and color version :
This design is similar to Logo No.1, except changing two small apples in No.1 to one big apple. This is to simplify the figure in the emblem and to emphasize the connection/confrontation between the ancient idea and the current myth of universe on gravity.
